Religion And Science Does Not Improve God By Amir D. Aczel

Science and Religion Working Hand in Hand

“Science investigates; religion interprets. Science gives man knowledge, which is power; religion gives man wisdom, which is control. Science deals mainly with facts; religion deals mainly with values. The two are not rivals.” (Martin Luther King Jr). Throughout history there has been a conflict between science and religion when there should be more understanding and acceptance.

There are many good religions around the world who are doing good for the world around them. People like Dawkins believe that science and religion are a toxic mix and that the two should not be
